The Access and Functional Needs (AFN) GIS maps were created by the Environmental Public Health Tracking Program of the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH) to enhance current emergency preparedness and response planning. The datasets within these maps were created to make location-based community information easy to access by public safety officials across Kentucky. The Emergency Preparedness and Response Branch of KDPH uses various social vulnerability indicators to prepare and respond to disease outbreaks, natural or human-caused disasters.
